!! finaly found my answer about hermd seeds !!

wowwww my thread has had a lot more interest since last night, 9inchbud ide prefer if u didnt post in any ov my threads, ur trouble mate, u always critazise and cause arguments so dont need ur input ok.

thanx for all the replies every1 else and feel free to keeping the input coming!! checked the four bigbud and their all looking great, i know u cant tell yet but i have a funny feeling that at least 1 is gunna be a strong healthy female, if so il be able to answer a lot of other peoples questions then and say that it is possible to get a healthy fem from a hermd plant, fingers crossed guys, im a lttle while off that stage but time will tell. smoke on

9incher u never read original posts properly to beggin with!!!!!!! my seed came from a plant that wasnt forced to go herm it was simply left a little to long and over rippened hence throwing a fiew seed, so i was trying to find out wetha it was worth a shot or not!!! READ THE POST PROPERLY, and it is deffo worth a shot if u have no other means!!

i dont wanna order online as its dodgy as fuck in my eyes, just look at that question in this post -where do u live!!!!!!!!!

what a dumb fucking question to ask as if any1 is gunna answer that on this site, navour go do sumin more productive with ur time and leave innocent harmless people alone!!

Page 2 of this thread... My post is at the very bottom. Anyone got any information for me that could potentially prevent me from making an error?

grow them, try ur best not to stress any plants and see wot u get, if ur seed came from a herm it may also tern herm, or it may not???? depends on how u treat them and a lot of other things, its a toutchy subject that no1 can answer with 100% certanty because there are so many diff factors involved that could be diff in every situation if u get me lol, i say grow them n see wot u get!! i got 4 in at the mo and they came from a hermie plant so il keep every1 posted , i may even open a journal on ''SEED FROM A HERMED PLANT'' ANY1 THINK THIS IS A GOOD IDEA??

natural hermie or stressed hermie..

also the harder it is to make the plant produce male flowers the more dominant the female traits. if it was hard to get to turn hermie then its dominant female, if it was easy to turn or natural youll just get mixed results...

basically all you can do is grow it out

does that help
if not please clarify

RODELIZATION: SOMA'S WAY TO FEMALE SEEDS

Here’s an easy, environmentally friendly method for breeding feminized seeds.

Story by Soma

Creating feminized cannabis seeds is an art. Just like art, there are a few different methods of application. I have written about some of my different methods of making seeds in previous HIGH TIMES articles. I have used gibberellic acid, pH stress, light stress, and fertilizer stress to force my female plants to make seeds. All of these methods are harsh on the plants, and some, like the gibberellic acid, are not organic. In my search for cleaner, more earth-friendly ways of working with the cannabis plant, I have found a new way to make feminized seeds. Feminized seeds occur as a result of stress, rather than genetics. All cannabis plants can and will make male flowers under stress. Certain strains like a higher pH, some a lower one. Some like a lot of food, some like much less. There is quite a lot of variety in marijuana genetics, and you can’t treat every plant the same way.

It takes many harvests before you really get to know a particular strain. Just like getting to know human friends, it takes time. I have grown the same strains for close to a decade, and am truly getting to know every nuance the different plants exhibit. I can recognize them from a distance. I must say that I get a lot of help from my friends, both in making seeds and in learning new and better ways of working with this sacred plant.

I named this new method "Rodelization," after a friend who helped me realize and make use of this way of creating female seeds. After growing crop after crop of the same plants in the same conditions, I noticed that if I flowered the plants 10-14 days longer than usual, they would develop male "bananas." A male banana is a very slight male flower on a female marijuana plant that is formed because of stress. Usually they do not let out any pollen early enough to make seeds, but they sometimes do. They are a built-in safety factor so that in case of severe conditions, the plant can make sure the species is furthered.

To me, a male banana is quite a beautiful thing. It has the potential of making all female seeds. Many growers out there have male-banana phobia. They see one and have heart palpitations, they want to cut down the entire crop, or at the very least take tweezers and pluck the little yellow emergency devices out. I call them "emergency devices" because they emerge at times of stress.

In the Rodelization method, the male banana is very valuable. After growing your female plants 10-14 days longer than usual, hang them up to dry, then carefully take them off the drying lines and inspect for bananas. Each and every banana should be removed, and placed in a small bag labeled very accurately. These sealed bags can be placed in the fridge for one or two months and still remain potent.

For the next phase, you need to have a separate crop that’s already 2 1/2 weeks into flowering. Take your sealed bags of pollen out of the fridge, and proceed to impregnate your new crop of females. To do this, you must first match the female plant and the pollen from the same strain in the previous crop. Shut all the fans in the growroom down. Then take a very fine paintbrush, dip it in the bag of pollen, and paint it on the female flower. Do this to each different strain you have growing together. I have done it with up to 10 different kinds in the same room with great success.

I use the lower flowers to make seeds, leaving the top colas seedless for smoking. This method takes time (two crops), but is completely organic, and lets you have great-quality smoke at the same time you make your female seeds. If you’re one of those growers who’s never grown seeds for fear of not having something good to smoke, you will love this method.

You can also use this pollen to make new female crosses by cross-pollinating. The older females with the male bananas can be brought into the room with the younger, unpollinated females after they are three weeks into flowering. Turn all of the circulation fans on high, and the little bits of pollen will proceed to make it around the room. Do this for several days. Six to seven weeks later, you will have ripe 100% feminized seeds; not nearly as many as a male plant would make, but enough to start over somewhere else with the same genetics.

As a farmer who has been forced to move his genetics far away from where they started, I know very well the value of seeds. My friend Adam from ThSeeds in Amsterdam has a motto that I love to borrow these days: Drop seeds not bombs.

so much talk about plants turning hermie? they iether are or aren't. what i belive is gojng on is normal females bieg stressed to produce female pollen.

THEY ARE NOT HERMIES! most of the time. u can tell if the pollen sac is enclosed in a (umbella like flower) or just little bannanas stickin out of a calxy. the full flower type is a hermie and the later is a female forcing pollen. which should result in all female seeds.

hi all, right heres whats been going on , i had 5seeds from a bigbud plant that went herm in the lsat fiew days of flower.

i wanted to know if i could plant the seeds and possibly grow healthy females!! the answer to this took me 3days to get!!

i planted the 5 seeds and 4 have come up nicely and are doing well, because i wasnt sure if i was wasting my time with thses seeds i tired everywere to find out if theyd go male , female or worstly turn hermie.




i've grown my seeds and i don't see a difference her name was butter and there are pics already on my profile


well this is what i believe NOW after extensive hrs reaserch and still not 100% sure?!!!! lol

if the plant the seed came from was a healthy female to beggin with it would av been xx, therefore if it decides to polinate itself there was no Y to beggin with so the hermd seeds will only be XX,

the only thing u have to be carefull with is how the plant went herm in the first place to produce the seed???

i.e if it was light stressed the seed it produces may be sensative to light stress and also tern hermi!!!!!??

so wot ive been told is u can grow a herm seed from a fem plant and it will tern out fem but will also have the herm trait but if u take realy good care of ur plant and dont stress her theres everychance that u will have a succesfull outcome!!!

i may be wrong but this is the best i came up with after 3days reaserch, if any1 wishes to comment or add input ur all more than welcome to add wot uve heard , read or preferably experienced first hand!!

i know when i finnish my gro with these hermd seeds im sure gunna open a post about growing hermd seeds to help others as its wrecked my brain trying to find out if its worth growing hermd seeds or not, thanx every1 and i look forward to reading any replies, peace out....
